Propanedioic acid, methylphenyl-, monoethyl ester, (S)-

Description:

Propanedioic acid, methylphenyl-, monoethyl ester, (S)-, commonly referred to as a chiral diester, is an organic compound characterized by its specific stereochemistry and functional groups. It features a propanedioic acid backbone, which is a dicarboxylic acid, with one of the carboxylic acid groups esterified with an ethyl group and the other with a methylphenyl group. The (S)- designation indicates that the compound has a specific spatial arrangement of its atoms, making it optically active. This compound is typically used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its properties include solubility in organic solvents, potential reactivity due to the presence of ester functional groups, and the ability to participate in various chemical reactions such as hydrolysis or transesterification. The presence of the aromatic methylphenyl group can also influence its physical properties, such as boiling point and polarity, making it a compound of interest in both academic and industrial chemistry.
